Cursing: how old were you when you started to curse?

Question

I started when I was about nine, and it got increasingly worse after that.

I curse all the time now...

Answer 1

wen i was around 10 but never around my parents but wen i turned 15 i swore infront of everyone

Answer 2

I don't remember exactly. But I know I was really young. I remember being about six or seven years old and all the neighborhood kids (myself included) used to swear constantly when adults weren't around.

Answer 3

16. When I started to drive and had to deal with all the a$sholes on the road.

Answer 4

Well the first time I got in trouble for my cursing was in preschool. I guess I was tired and some little boy was bothering me...well...the tapestry of obscenities that came out of my mouth. Oopsies!

Not much has changed...I still swear like a sailor.

Answer 5

12

Answer 6

I never started

Answer 7

Never started.

8 years in the navy and didn't curse there either.

Answer 8

I clearly remember the first time I cursed.  I was about 10 or 11.  I was mad at my mother, went out the front door, slammed the door, and called my Mom a dirty word.  Guess what?  As with all mothers she has that super human hearing...she heard the dirty word.  I don't think I tried cursing again until I was around 15 or so.  

Pretty much outgrew cursing by the time I hit my late 20's.  Now I only curse if I have something like one of my draft horses standing on my foot, or the entire herd of goats (over 100 of them) break out, and make for the neighbors perfectly landscaped yard.

Answer 9

Probably 15/16. I picked it up from an older female friend who swore like a sailor.

Answer 10

none of your goddamn fuuucking business

Answer 11

3 years old, I learned it from my uncles who had just returned from the war.  I really embarrassed my family at my Baptism when I cursed out the priest.  What does one do when someone throws water in your face????

Answer 12

10. I did it because my friends were doing it. I wish I never started.

Answer 13

Same age as you were actually: nine.  I didn't have the guts to say the "f" word (and I'm not talking about "feminism," lol) at that time, but it didn't take long to change that.

I'm a bit of a potty mouth now once I get going.

Answer 14

Don't remember but on a regular basis 18, military will do that to ya.  

However, I got told a joke the other day.

How do you know when your from a small town?

When you say your first cuss word and your mom knows about it by time you get home.

Answer 15

At birth, I guess my mother had a few choice words during delivery.

Answer 16

I think I was about 11 or 12 years old. I picked up most of what I knew from a classmate with ADHD.

Answer 17

6, I think...

Answer 18

Well lets see, I'm sixteen now, and I started when I was........................................
